Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

Afterwards, Zhang Qinghua made a bet, and it was confirmed that the deal was concluded.

Then Zhang Qing bowed and left.

A few days later.

Zhang Qing's father, Zhang Tianxing, arrived in Bauhinia City.

"Qing'er, is it settled?"

"Father, it's settled. It's just...Father, why did you agree to everything? Although the other party is an official, you have to give [-]%! A full [-]%!!"

"You're still a little short-sighted. It's okay. I'll listen to my dad this time. Alas, if I couldn't get away, I should have come here in person. I almost missed a big deal!"

"...My son knows that there is a market for that salt. But, you said it yourself, you must bargain! Why don't you bargain this time?"

"Don't worry, just listen to me slowly."

Zhang Tianxing laughed, and began to explain the current situation of the salt merchants, and then mentioned the situation in the palace, and guessed that the current style of the Holy Majesty is that he likes to take his time.

"Ah? Start an official business? Seize the market share, and all salt merchants will die? Father, are you thinking too much? This is to compete with the people for profit, the imperial court will not do this..." Zhang Qing was a little dumbfounded when he heard the back .

Then there was a cold sweat.

If, as my father said, the imperial court did that... Do these salt merchants have the ability to resist?

No!

When the new salt is on the market, the rest of the salt will not have to be sold!

"So, read more and learn more in the future. Listen to daddy, daddy won't lie to you." Zhang Tianxing said kindly, and taught his successor earnestly, "This time... the emperor is kind, and we are lucky. No , not luck. It should be good luck for my father who has done good deeds for so many years, hahaha!"

Zhang Qing sighed, knowing that his father was beginning to be complacent again.

Among the many salt merchants, they are the only one who often help the poor and give free porridge and steamed buns to the refugees, and their business has always been down-to-earth.

Although it is not the richest salt merchant, it is the most honest.

His father often used his behavior to educate him, which made his ears almost callused.

but……

These words were also deeply engraved in his heart.

Unknowingly, let Zhang Qing imitate his father and act with his father as an example.

…………

half a month later.

The Zhang Family Salt Merchant has taken the first step in reformation and started selling new salt in the imperial capital Bauhinia City!

As soon as the new salt came out, it exploded immediately!

When everyone heard that this is the salt that His Majesty is using today, their eyes turned red immediately.

Can I, a commoner, eat such good salt?And it's not particularly expensive!

This salt merchant...is so good!

The rest of the family?

The salt from the rest of the family is expensive and unpalatable, and dogs don't buy it! !

Millions of people in such a huge Bauhinia City come to buy new salt every day, but no one cares about the old salt!

The rest of the salt merchants closed their doors urgently to discuss countermeasures!

Chapter 12 The new salt is listed nationwide, but it is not allowed to be sold to other countries?

Salt merchants gathered to discuss countermeasures.

"Hey, the Zhang family salt has new salt now, and our salt can't be sold!"

"It's helpless, this family is cooperating with the imperial palace... I've also heard that [-]% is given to the royal family!"

"Fifty percent... this..."

"My lords, we are all smart people. Now that Jinyiwei is revived and stirring up the situation, let's not talk nonsense. The martial arts people I raised dare not use it, dare to use it and dare to die! I don't intend to play tricks. I am already contacting Zhang home."

"Oh? Brother Yun, is the Zhang family contacted? Not the court?"

"The Zhang family!"

"Brother Xie Yun made a point!"

"We each rely on our own abilities. The Zhang family is well-off this time."

All the salt merchants retreat!

…………

A week later.

All salt merchants in the imperial capital began to sell new salt.

"Oh ho ho ho, it's really hard work."

Ke Wu stroked his beard.

He also did not expect that the Zhang family could say [-]%.

Don't look at it as a mere [-]%, but it is a huge profit.

"It's better to have something to sell than to have nothing to sell. They are from a clear family. They are also the chief minister's spirit, and they actually gave us the right to negotiate." Zhang Tianxing cupped his hands.

"Hey. There is a specialization in the art industry, and you businessmen have to come here." Ke Wule.

Now, except for the Zhang family, the new salt sold by the rest of the salt merchants is to share [-]% of the profits to the royal family.

For this first month's income, tens of thousands of taels of silver had to be recorded.

This has not yet spread to the whole country.

Now salt merchants are racing to innovate salt shops.

"The court loves you wrongly!" Zhang Tianxing cupped his hands again, "Actually... I have a merciless request for my visit this time."

"Oh?"

"The dog is willing to revolutionize the salt shop of the Imperial Merchant."

Zhang Tianxing opened his mouth and said: "After the innovation, the increased profit is only [-]%. If it is not as good as before, my Zhang family will pay the full amount and make up [-]% more!"

"Oh?" Ke Wu became interested.

This means... I hope that Zhang Qing will come to reform the Huangshang Salt Store!

for example.

Originally, the monthly income of Huangshang was 1000 silver.

After Zhang Qing's reform, his monthly income was 1500 silver, and that Zhang Qing got 250 silver alone.

And if after the reform, the monthly income is less than 1000 silver, the Zhang family will fill it up to 1100 silver.

No loss left or right!

"It will take one year. After one year, my son will quit the management of Huangshang. I hope that Your Excellency Shoufu will advance." Zhang Tianxing smiled, and then presented a generous gift.

When Ke Wu saw it, it turned out to be a glazed BMW, which was exquisite in appearance and worth a lot of money at first glance...

"Okay. It's rare that you have this kind of heart." Ke Wu thought that this would be beneficial to the court, so he nodded in agreement.

…………

Zhang Tianxing went home.

"Father, why did you do this?" Zhang Qing asked curiously.

"Don't ask, asking is to hold on to the royal thigh! This is an investment, I guess His Majesty has the ability to rejuvenate now!" Zhang Tianxing looked towards the direction of the palace, and bowed his hands!

Zhang Qing was speechless, but everything was settled, so he could only agree.

"Okay. One year, it will be regarded as tempering."

The royal salt shop is the salt shop opened by the royal family, and it is actually the last one among the salt shops.

because of its slow response.

All actions must be ordered by the corresponding officials of the palace before they can act. Naturally, they are always slow.

And officials change frequently.

This is the most important.

Some officials just came here to mix their qualifications, and they don't know how to do business at all. All aspects of the system of the Imperial Salt Shop have long been eliminated.

This time, Zhang Qing has a big stage to reform the salt shop of Huangshang.

Because the Huangshang Salt Store is really bad.

…………

After ten days.

The whole country began to supply new salt, and various workshops also started to do it.

Moreover, there are already smugglers who have connections and have brought the new salt to the royal families of various countries, and the response has been excellent.

In the black market, the price of new salt has skyrocketed.

And the cabinet naturally wrote "whether to sell new salt" as a booklet and asked the emperor.

Logically speaking, this is beneficial and harmless.

With such new salt, the money from all countries will flow to the dry country.

…………

but--

"Rejected?"

Ke Wu and the others looked at the emperor's reply and were speechless for a while.

The emperor replied: Do not sell fine salt to other countries.

"This..." Zhang Qian scratched her head, "What does the emperor mean by this? With this salt, my national power will rise through hard work."

"Could it be that you want to hide it? But how to hide it? The nobles of the six countries basically know it." Tan Feiqi was puzzled.

The black market is beyond the control of the imperial court.Especially this kind of salt that is sold all over the country.

There are smugglers in every country, who smuggle special products unique to each country to other countries and sell them at sky-high prices.

Among them, the profit can be doubled at least, and more than ten times.

Businessmen who regard money as their life are naturally willing to take risks.

Even the imperial court has contacts with some super smugglers.

The last time Beiyan made a new invention, a powerful longbow.

Qianguo bought it from smugglers.

Hey, this kind of armament is the top priority of Yan State.

But the smugglers can get it!And sold at sky-high prices!

superb.

"I don't understand... If the emperor doesn't make this money, then let the smugglers make it?"

Ke Wu also frowned, and began to ponder the holy will.

Chapter 13 Solicit Smugglers?I agree

The rest of the cabinet also looked at Ke Wu.

Want to know an answer.

"Is there a possibility..." Ke Wu stroked his beard, "Your Majesty wants to curb smuggling?"

"Impossible, impossible!" Zhang Qian waved her hands again and again, "Nowadays, the Dagan Dynasty is at peace with the surrounding countries, bordering the Three Kingdoms, and it is very difficult to curb smuggling! And...to put it bluntly, these smugglers really We have things, and we need them."
